I agree with infidel only if you will stay inside 300m. At that distance you could use a simple duplex and it would cover the "target" area perfectly. Since you are a new shooter I would talk to the guys:gals at the range and try to pick up some shooting techniques such as the BRASS method which says Breath Relax Aim Steady Shoot. This is the one I use as it was the first one I was taught in the Corps. There are several very good methods out there. Have fun and enjoy your new found sport "Peerke59"

your not going to be shooting tight groups on 4x at 300 yds. the gun might get 1 inch groups at 100 if everything is perfect (especially the reloads). nxs compacts 1x4 with the FC reticle if your going to action shoot for IPSC, or their 2.5x10 npr2 zero stop if groups are more of a concern. Heres one with a wilde chamber, and a "target" model (trigger,bolt,) etc, and you really have to work at it to get sub moa. sig triggers are anything but target grade.

not sure what you mean by tight groups, to me the sig simply isn't capable of tight groups at any range, so the choice of scope doesn't have a foundation. even with a capable gun shooting tight groups with a 4x is hard at just 100yds. the 1x4 nxs is a real 1x at 1x and can be used with both eyes open, and heads up, but so can 2.5 npr2, (which doesn't have thick bars going to the edges and thus, block part of the sight picture). most action shooting IPSC past 100 yds, uses steel targets as its easier to score. 8x10 with a 4 and 300 yds are fairly easy, but a 4x6 head shot with a 4x is a hard shot, . planning for the optimum equipment package for the stage you will be shooting is called "gaming" the stage and is all but impossible to do unless the course of fire has been sent out, and even then will be sandbagged by the locals. The best is to have two seperate gun set ups. From what I'm hearing you would be happier with something like a 2.5x10 or the 3x9 SS.

MMMMmm, Okay I agree that hightec scopes used by military are not legal to send overseas.

But it is possible for me to buy trijicon acog scopes legaly in Holland in legal shops here, but the price is twice as much as in the states.

Fact is that most of the internet shops are not willing to send scopes overseas for different reasons.

For example : The Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x50 tactical, I bought in the US a year ago cost me about 650 dollar + P&P in a shop that was willing to send it overseas, and cost about 540 dollar + P&P in a shop that did not want to send it to Holland.

So I asked my freind to purchase it for me for 540 dollar and send it to me.

And he did.

So for about 750 dollar (P&P and customs taxes) I had the scope in my house.

I just disagree with the statement that Sigs are not capable of accuracy!

I have a Sig 556 Swat that will cut sub MOA at 100 yards with an EO TECH and EO TECH 3x magnifier. That is not the best optics but it does it with 75 gr. Private Partisan ammunition.

Iuse it because the barrel is 1 turn in 7. It has a thin barrel so you wouldn't think it would be capable.
